SUMMARY :

Thailand Born Chinese are Learning Chinese Language.

The learning of Chinese has been revived within the overseas Chinese community in Thailand because of the increasing importance of China on the world stage. In the past, there was little incentive to learn the language due to Thailand’s assimilation-based education policy for local Chinese.

FACULTY PICK :

Overseas Chinese are scattered around every part of the world. Often they bear the mission of preserving Chinese culture abroad. In this video, we see how overseas Chinese of different occupations and social standing in Thailand contribute to the business of cultural conservation. This video provides an in-depth coverage of several cases in Thailand, interviewing several Chinese from quite diverse backgrounds.
